5.3" Fossil Dinosaur Vertebra - Hell Creek Formation
This is a 5.3" tall vertebra centrum, collected from our partner's lease on the Hell Creek Formation in North Dakota. The processes are missing and the vertebra was found heavily fractured. Additional prep work could be done to restore the specimen, or it can be left as it was found.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.

The Hell Creek Formation
Renowned for both its age and rich sedimentary layers, the Hell Creek Formation is one of the most intensively studied fossil-bearing regions on Earth. To date, scientists have documented 158 genera of animals and 64 genera of plants from its rocks, with new finds emerging regularly. Beyond iconic dinosaurs such as tyrannosaurs, ceratopsians, and hadrosaurs, the formation has produced an extraordinary array of life, including amphibians, reptiles, lizards, snakes, turtles, fish, sharks, birds, and early mammals. Together, these fossils provide the most complete picture of the ecosystems that thrived just before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
